The present invention relates to a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method of an electronic device, especially adequate for resin sealing processes such as COF (Chip On Film).

2. Description of the Related Art

As for a conventional semiconductor device, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2000-269611, a method that a semiconductor is flip-chip mounted on a film substrate by bonding of a bump electrode on a connecting terminal formed on the film substrate is introduced. As for a method to seal the semiconductor chip that is flip-chip mounted, a sealing resin is injected into the interstices between the semiconductor chip and the film substrate.

Along with a miniaturization of circuit patterns, since the bump electrode is- arrayed in a fine pitch, a void occurs in the sealing resin injected into the interstices between the semiconductor chip and the film substrate which deteriorates a sealing performance of the semiconductor chip.

In view of this, the invention aims to provide a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device and an electronic device to enable resin injection to be carried out while suppressing a void from occurring.

SUMMARY

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of an aspect of the invention includes a step of face-down mounting a semiconductor chip on a wiring board, the semiconductor chip having a plurality of differently spaced bump electrode arrays and a step of carrying out a resin injection from a bump electrode array side of the chip having the most narrow spacing.

Accordingly, it is possible to increase a resin injection pressure at the narrowest bump electrode array side by changing a resin injecting direction. Thus, this makes it possible to inject the resin into the interstices between the semiconductor chip and the wiring board while enabling the resin to spread around the bump electrodes even if the spacing of the bump electrode array is narrow.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The manufacturing method of the semiconductor device according to the invention will now be described by referring to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1(a) is a sectional view showing a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device of a first embodiment of the invention. FIG. 1(b) is a plan view showing a flow of a sealing resin 5 on a semiconductor chip 3 shown in FIG. 1(a).

In FIG. 1, a connecting terminal 2 is connected to the wiring portion 2′. Bump electrodes 4 a and 4 b are disposed on the semiconductor chip 3. The bump electrodes 4 a are arrayed in a straight line along one long side 3 a of the semiconductor chip 3 and the bump electrodes 4 b are arrayed in a zigzag arrangement along the other long side 3 b of the semiconductor chip 3.

The semiconductor chip 3 is subjected to face-down mounting in which the bump electrodes 4 a and 4 b are connected onto the wiring terminal 2. A surface of the semiconductor chip 3 is sealed by injecting the sealing resin 5 into the interstices between the semiconductor chip 3 and the film substrate 1. Here, it is possible to carry out the injection of the sealing resin 5 from the long side 3 b along which the bump electrodes 4 b are arrayed to seal the surface of the semiconductor chip 3.

Accordingly, as compared with the bump electrode 4 a side, the bump electrodes 4 a are arrayed in a straight line, it is possible to increase an injection pressure of the sealing resin 5 at the bump electrode 4 b side, the electrodes 4 b being arrayed in a zigzag arrangement. Thus, this makes it possible to seal the surface of the semiconductor chip 3 while enabling the sealing resin 5 to spread around the bump electrodes 4 b. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an occurrence of a void in the sealing resin 5 injected into the interstices between the semiconductor chip 3 and the film substrate 1. As a result, it is possible to improve a sealing performance of the semiconductor chip 3 that is subjected to face-down mounting while enabling a fine pitch to be applied to the bump electrodes 4 b.

While a method with the semiconductor chip 3 mounted on the film substrate 1 was introduced in the above-mentioned embodiment, examples of members on which the semiconductor chip 3 is mounted include a printed wiring board, a multilayer board, a build up board, a tape substrate, a glass substrate and so forth, and are not necessarily limited to the film substrate 1.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a flow of a sealing resin 15 on a semiconductor chip 13 of a second embodiment of the invention.

In FIG. 2, bump electrodes 14 a and 14 b are disposed on the semiconductor 13. Each bump electrode array 14 a and 14 b is respectively arranged in a straight line along a long side 13 a or 13 b opposing each other on the semiconductor chip 13. A spacing between the bump electrodes 14 b in the array is narrower than that of the bump electrodes 14 a. Here, it is possible to carry out the injection of the sealing resin 15 from the long side 13 b along which the bump electrodes 14 b are arrayed to seal the surface of the semiconductor chip 13 that is subjected to face-down mounting via the bump electrodes 14 a and 14 b.

Accordingly, it is possible to increase an injection pressure of the sealing resin 15 at the array side of the bump electrodes 14 b having a more narrow spacing than that of the bump electrodes 14 a by adjusting an injecting direction of the sealing resin 15. Thus, even in a narrow spacing case such as the bump electrodes 14 b, it is possible to seal the surface of the semiconductor 13 while suppressing the occurrence of a void in the sealing resin 15. As a result, it is possible to improve the sealing performance of the semiconductor chip 13 that is subjected to face-down mounting without increasing complex and laborious handling in manufacturing processes.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a flow of a sealing resin 25 on the semiconductor chip 23 of a third embodiment of the invention.

In FIG. 3, bump electrodes 24 a and 24 b are disposed on the semiconductor chip 23. Here, the bump electrodes 24 a are arrayed in a straight line along one long side 23 a of the semiconductor chip 23 and the bump electrodes 24 b are arrayed in a straight line along the other long side 23 b and each short side 23 c and 23 d of the semiconductor chip 23. A spacing between the bump electrodes 24 b in the array is narrower than that of the bump electrodes 24 a. Here, it is possible to carry out the injection of the sealing resin 25 from the long side 23 b along which the bump electrodes 24 b are arrayed to seal the surface of the semiconductor chip 23 that is subjected to face-down mounting via the bump electrodes 24 a and 24 b.

Accordingly, it is possible to increase an injection pressure of the sealing resin 25 at the array side of the bump electrodes 24 b having a more narrow spacing than that of the bump electrodes 24 a by changing an injecting direction of the sealing resin 25 while enabling a flowing channel of the sealing resin 25 to be shortened. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a void in the sealing resin 25 and also to improve the sealing performance of the semiconductor chip 23 that is subjected to face-down mounting without increasing complex and laborious handling in manufacturing processes.

FIG. 4(a) is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 4(b). FIG. 4(b) is a plan view showing a general structure of a liquid crystal module of a fourth embodiment of the invention.

In FIG. 4, the liquid crystal module includes a liquid crystal panel PN and a liquid crystal driver DR to drive the liquid crystal panel PN. The semiconductor chip 33 in which driving circuits and so forth are formed is built in the liquid crystal driver DR. The semiconductor chip 33 is mounted on a film substrate 31 via bump electrodes 34 and its surface is sealed with a sealing resin 35.

The liquid crystal panel PN includes glass substrates 51 and 54. A transparent electrode 52 such as ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) is formed on the glass substrate 51. A liquid crystal layer 53 is placed between the glass substrate 51 on which the transparent electrode 52 is formed and the glass substrate 54 and is sealed with a sealing member 55.

A wiring portion for signal input 32 b and a wiring portion for signal output 32 a are disposed on the film substrate 31. An outer lead of the wiring portion for signal input 32 b is connected to a printed wiring board 41 with a connecting terminal 42 such as an ACF (Anisotropic Conductive Film). An outer lead of the wiring portion for signal output 32 a is connected to the transparent electrode 52 with a connecting terminal 56 such as the ACF.

Each inner lead of the wiring portion for signal input 32 b and the wiring portion for signal output 32 a is connected to the bump electrodes 34 of the semiconductor chip 33 respectively. Here, it is possible to carry out an injection of the sealing resin 35 from the array side of the bump electrodes 34 a that are connected to the wiring portion for signal output 32 a to seal a surface of the semiconductor chip 33 with the sealing resin 35.

Accordingly, even if the number of wirings of the wiring portion for signal output 32 a is larger than that of the wiring portion for signal input 32 b, this makes it possible to suppress the occurrence of a void in the sealing resin injected into the interstices between the semiconductor chip 33 and the film substrate 31 by changing an injecting direction of the sealing resin 35. As a result, it is possible to improve a sealing performance of the semiconductor chip 33 that is subjected to face-down mounting without increasing complex and laborious handling in manufacturing processes.
